This Sping 2008 semester, I'm teaching two undergraduate finance courses.  Speculative Markets , is an introductory course in futures and options.  We explore derivative pricing, derivative strategies, and hedging strategies.  The other course is Investments .  This too is an introductory course, in the area of investments.  We study security characteristics, securities markets, equity valuation, CAPM, efficient market hypothesis, and other related topics.  The class project for Investments this semester is a Security Analysis of Starbucks (SBUX).  Stay tuned for updates on the class recommendation on Starbucks.  Will it be Buy, Sell, or Hold?
